Today’s (2/21/23) Wake Up Call from seedbed.com is an important word for us in our faith journey or pilgrimage. And one particular paragraph JD shares really speaks to me. I think it bears repeating.
“Mountain top experiences cannot be contained. They must be received as holy encounters and then processed and pressed into pilgrimage. I love the way Oswald Chambers speaks of this, “It is a wonderful thing to be on the mountain with God, but a person only gets there so that he may later go down and lift up the demon-possessed people in the valley (see Mark 9:14-18).” He adds, “The true test of our spiritual life is in exhibiting the power to descend from the mountain.””
